Jean Louis Bennoit Cabanis (born March 8, 1816 in Berlin , † February 20, 1906 in Friedrichshagen ) was a German ornithologist .

Live and act

Jean Louis Bennoit Cabanis was born as the son of the wallpaper manufacturer Jean Louis Bennoit Cabanis and his wife Auguste Marie Charlotte. Fahland was born in Berlin on March 8, 1816 . Cabanis studied from 1835 to 1839 at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Berlin . He then went to North America , from where he returned to Berlin in 1841 and brought back a large collection of natural history finds. Then he was initially employed by the Museum of Natural History . He later became director there, succeeding Martin Lichtenstein . He worked for the Zoological Museum for more than 50 years, from 1841 to 1892.

In 1853 he founded the Journal for Ornithology , of which he was editor for 41 years. Then he was replaced by his son-in-law Anton Reichenow .

Honors and commemorations

Some ornithologists named a taxon after Cabanis . These include:

However, the South American Classification Committee has categorized Poospiza cabanisi as a separate species. Some authors also believe that Melozone cabanisi is a species of its own. Knipolegus cabanisi is also found in the literature as a separate species, but the South American Classification Committee has so far rejected this categorization.

Descriptions

Cabanis has scientifically described a large number of bird taxa alone or with other authors . Together with Charles Lucien Jules Laurent Bonaparte , he described the genus Stenostira in 1850 . In collaboration with Ferdinand Heine, he also described numerous genera, species and subspecies. The description of the subspecies of the Rainbow Lorikeet ( Trichoglossus haematodus flavicans ) goes back to a collaboration with Anton Reichenow . Alone he has described, among other things, the species forest wren ( Henicorhina leucosticta ), scale- coat ant guard ( Hylophylax poecilinotus ) and eye-ring broad-billed tyrant ( Rhynchocyclus brevirostris ) as well as the genera Poospiza , Baeolophus and Cichlopsis .
